Zhang Zian told his suggestions to Little Celery and Wang Yaning. As for their final decision, it wasn't any of his business. After all, letting children take responsibility for their own actions was a necessary part of growing up.

Little Celery and Wang Yaning discussed for a bit longer. Little Celery was strongly in favor of Zhang Zian's advice. In her opinion, Mr. Store Manager understood pets the the best. Wang Yaning couldn't make any reasonable objections. They finally decided that they were going to tell their school that they would try raising Djungarian hamsters and lop-eared rabbits for their animal raising class.

Wang Yaning, as the student representative of biology in her class, was also responsible for writing up the reasonings for their decision in their report. However, she had gathered enough information from Zhang Zian and was confident that she could complete a well grounded report.

After they finished talking, Zhang Zian suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, ”Little Celery, when is the anniversary of your school's founding? I haven't missed it, have I?”

He'd promised Little Celery that he'd go see her performance at the celebration of the school's establishment. However, he had been so busy shooting the movie lately he'd almost forgotten about his promise. He didn't want to be the type of person who couldn't keep promises to children.

Little Celery was absolutely delighted at the fact that hamsters and lop-eared rabbits were chosen as the breeding animals for their class. However, after Zhang Zian asked her his question, she visibly became dejected. She whispered, ”The celebration will be on December 24th, in the afternoon.”

Huh? It was on Christmas Eve?

Zhang Zian was relieved. Fortunately, he hadn't missed it.

But why was Little Celery so unhappy? Was she having trouble at the rehearsals?

”Little Celery, what's wrong? What's going on?” he asked with concern.

Little Celery lowered her head and remained silent, but Wang Yaning confirmed Zhang Zian's worries. ”I didn't participate in the program's rehearsals because I had transferred schools too recently, but I heard that the boys in our class don't want to be reindeers.”

”Reindeers? What reindeers?” Zhang Zian was confused.

Wang Ning explained angrily, ”It's Christmas Eve on December 24th, right? So, at the end of the show, reindeers pull Santa Claus on the sleigh and give away adorable kittens and puppies as Christmas gifts to everyone. But nobody wants to be a reindeer because they have to wear reindeer costumes and pull a sleigh! I think that the boys should take the roles. But they're all too embarrassed and are scared to perform. Little Celery said that she's going to be a reindeer! These boys are so awful, they almost made Little Celery cry at the class meeting!”

This time, it was Zhang Zian's turn to frown. That kind of physical work should definitely be done by boys. However, their reactions were also understandable, because boys at that age were very self-conscious and were afraid of making a fool of themselves. After they performed as reindeers, other cruel boys would probably make of them and give them mean nicknames. They'd be embarrassed for the rest of primary school.

For the types of programs that were rehearsed and performed by students, it was inappropriate for adults to participate. If the boys were too scared to perform, there were only female students left to take the roles.

The idea to put on the Pet Shop in A Fairy Tale came from Little Celery, and she had bravely faced the problem by volunteering to be a reindeer. However, from Wang Yaning's description, the person who had to be a reindeer would also have to kneel on the ground and pull a sleigh. The sleigh would also have a classmate playing Santa sitting on it, along with other stage props. Would the tiny Little Celery be able to pull so much weight at once?

Zhang Zian remembered Yi Le, the boy who still owed him a favor. Should he ask Yi Le to play as a reindeer? No, not a good idea. Yi Le definitely wouldn't agree to it and Zhang Zian didn't want to force him.

As he was trying to think of a solution, he felt something gently tug the bottom of his pant leg. He looked down and saw Famous.

He didn't know exactly when Famous had woken up, but it was clear that he'd heard Zhang Zian's and Wang Yaning's conversation.

”Zian, ask them if dogs can pull the sleigh.” Famous looked up at him with its shiny eyes.

Dogs pulling the sleigh?

Zhang Zian understood what it meant immediately.
